Chapter 79: Who's the Yellow Sparrow?
The biggest difference between the cave cities of the stone lizardmen and humans is that their layout is three-dimensional, like rolling hills connected together.
The team climbed over the hill in invisibility and disappeared from view.
The stone lizardmen passing by did not notice that outsiders had infiltrated, and most of them were sleeping in their lair.
Ji Xinghuo did not follow the same path as them, but chose an optimized route with a lower probability of being detected by the stone lizard people through magnetic field induction.
He kept locking onto the other party, keeping it within his perceptual distance.
From time to time, they can be seen directly.
In this process, Ji Xinghuo found that Ren Mian could also see the team in front of him, unlike Chi Zhonglu and Jiang Nan Caiyi, who completely relied on their own guidance.
"It should be a visual ability."
Ji Xinghuo quickly guessed.
Because only the team in front of her appeared in the field of vision, Ren Mian could see it, and when they were blocked, she had to rely on her own guidance.
The two teams walked one after the other, and soon passed through the first cave.
The second cave is a little smaller, but it is also inhabited by tens of thousands of stone lizardmen, and it is located deeper underground.
Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field induction could just cover this cave, and the last large and small biomagnetic fields were mapped in his brain, and several extremely bright magnetic fields were immediately discovered, this strength was obviously higher than that of a stone lizard man, it should be a fourth-order powerhouse, equivalent to a super inhuman.
The average strength of the stone lizardmen is not high, and the vast majority are of the first order.
The proportion of the second order is less than 5%, the third order is even less, not even 1%, and the fourth order is only two or three strong.
This is still the stone lizard man who entered the astral plane.
Just like humans, not all of the Beiluo Sect are eligible to enter the Star Boundary, most of their races stay on their home planet, and those in the Star Plane are all evolutionaries in the group.
From this, Ji Xinghuo deduced that the talent of the stone lizard people was far inferior to that of humans.
This is in line with what I've seen before.
In fact, among the Beiluo Sect clan, only the Dagon people are slightly more talented than humans, but they are very out of the way, not as comprehensive as humans.
Go through the second cave and come to the third.
And then the fourth, and then the fifth.
Both teams were not fast, and it took them almost two hours to sneak through seven caves, each of which was different in size, and the terrain was complex and deep, like a large labyrinth, all of which were inhabited by tens of thousands of stone lizardmen.
When Ji Xinghuo entered the eighth cave, he had already penetrated more than 2,000 meters underground.
This cave is bigger than the previous ones!
With a diameter of nearly five kilometers and a height of more than three hundred meters, Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field induction was full of dense stone lizardmen, with a rough estimate of seventy or eighty thousand people.
"This should be the core cave of the Lizard City." Ren Mian's voice sounded in his heart.
"Yes."
Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly.
The total number of stone lizardmen in this underground city is close to 200,000, which is not very large, but considering that these stone lizardmen are all evolutionaries, it is quite amazing.
Most Stonelizardmen are asleep to reduce their energy expenditure.
This is a biological habit created by the environment of their home planet, the resources on the night star are scarce, most of the time there is a lack of light, in order to prolong the survival of the race, most of the stone lizards will enter a deep sleep similar to hibernation when they are fine.
Generally, only a small number of ethnic groups are left to patrol and guard.
When there is a need for work or an invasion by an enemy, the lizardmen will quickly wake up and immediately go into battle.
Sleep requires a dimly lit environment.
However, on one side of this huge cavern, there is an area planted with many fluorescent plants, which emit a faint glow that is very eye-catching in the dim cavern.
Ji Xinghuo looked from afar, and there were all awake stone lizardmen in that area, as well as the figures of Dagon and Golau Kak.
In the middle of the bright area is a palace-like rock building, clinging to the stone walls of the cavern, and groups of lizardmen guard the outside patrolling intensively.
There are hundreds of steps in front of the palace, the entrance is a hundred meters higher than the ground, the whole gate seems to be embedded in the stone wall, and from the ground to the entrance are guarded by stone lizardmen, they are stronger than ordinary stone lizardmen, at least second-order warriors.
Among the patrolling team of the stone lizardmen, there was at least one gon and two Golau Kak, who looked like the captain of the guard.
You don't have to think about it to know that this is certainly the most important place in the city.
"Toad spirit in there?"
Chi Zhonglu looked at the rock palace, his eyes full of eagerness.
"It should be." Ren Mian nodded, and she saw that the team was lurking towards the Rock Palace, and the distance was shortening little by little.
"Let's go too." The four of them quietly followed.
Before they arrived, Ji Xinghuo found that the team had stopped moving, hiding in a shadow outside the rock palace, about three hundred meters away, cautiously observing the situation in the palace.
Ji Xinghuo didn't want to get too close to them, but he couldn't get too far away so as not to miss the best opportunity.
He had chosen a place on the other side of the palace gate, about four hundred meters from the entrance and the procession, in an empty alley.
Here, Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field induction can already probe the interior of the palace.
He closed his eyes slightly and looked closely.
Behind the palace gate is a wide passageway, completely carved out of the rock, up to a hundred meters long, leading to a cave deep in the stone wall.
The space of the cave is very large, about 300 meters in diameter, the interior is damp, like a large pool, the water depth is only about half a meter, there is soil in the water and a large number of plants grow, climbing all over the rock walls of the cave, there are several small forests, there are various insects and animals living in it, making the whole cave like a small ecosphere.
This is obviously a deliberate environment created by the Dagon people to provide a comfortable living environment for the toad spirit.
Toad Spirit!
Ji Xinghuo sensed the toad spirit, and its biomagnetic field was very conspicuous.
It lay in a tall bush in the middle of the pool, and it was more than a meter tall and more than three meters long, which was not particularly large among many monsters.
Ji Xinghuo sensed great danger on it, its magnetic field strength was too high.
At least superb!
However, Ji Xinghuo didn't pay much attention to Toad Ling, and even stayed for less than a second, and was immediately attracted by another magnetic field.
His eyes widened a little, and his pupils constricted.
This is a humanoid magnetic field, judging from the shape, it is a Dagon, however, the strength of his magnetic field is ten times stronger than that of Toad Ling, as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the dark night, overpowering all other magnetic fields, it is difficult for Ji Xinghuo not to notice him.
Although a high magnetic field does not necessarily mean that the strength is strong, most of the time, this rule is true.
"Fifth-Order Dagon!"
"Legendary!"
Ji Xinghuo gasped in his heart, Sister Ren had said before that there were Dagon people in the Deep Rock Rift who were specifically responsible for guarding the Toad Spirit, but she didn't say that it was a legend.
According to the news given by Wanglongtai, the Toad Spirit is guarded by three fourth-order Dagons, led by them, as well as about ten fourth-order stone lizard warriors in the city.
"Message error?"
Ji Xinghuo's mind turned sharply, "Or has something else happened recently?" ”
The legendary Dagon was not in the cave, he was sitting at the entrance to the passage in the palace, flanked by two fourth-order Dagon and dozens of guards.
"Sister Ren."
Ji Xinghuo motioned for Ren Mian to open the thinking necklace, ignoring the fact that his sensing range was actually farther away, and said in his heart: "There is a legendary Dagon in there." ”
The faces of the three of them changed when they heard this.
Ren Mian didn't panic, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said: "It seems that not only us and that team, there should have been other people sneaking in before, alarming the Beiluo Division, so I specially sent a legend to guard and strengthen the protection of the Toad Spirit." ”
She asked again, "Is the toad spirit still there?" ”
"Yes." Ji Xinghuo nodded.
"It's good that we didn't transfer the toad spirit away." Ren Mian's expression was a little lighter, and he didn't seem to have much fear of the legend.
Toad Ling has high requirements for the living environment and cannot be transferred at will. If it is upset, it is likely to attack the breeder, and it is very difficult to calm it down again.
Chi Zhongliang asked, "Are we going to continue?" ”
"Of course." Ren Mian did not hesitate: "I finally got here, there is no reason to give up, I always have to give it a try." ”
She looked at where the team was hiding, "We don't have to go head-to-head with the legendary Dagons. ”
Ji Xinghuo understood what she meant.
Just be patient and wait for those five to strike first.
The wait was four hours, and the team lurked in the shadows without moving, watching the patrolling guards at the entrance to the palace, as if waiting for the best time to do so.
Ji Xinghuo and the four of them changed positions.
They didn't have an illusionist, they only relied on Jiangnan Caiyi to use phantom beads to cover their whereabouts, and after a long time, the star power couldn't support it, Ji Xinghuo found a nest without stone lizardmen, hid inside, and could see the entrance to the palace from the narrow stone cracks.
I thought it would take a day or two like this, but something unexpected happened.
The legendary Dagon moved.
There were several rooms next to the entrance to the passage in the palace, where the Dagon had eaten and lived, but now he suddenly came out because a group of stone lizardmen guards had hurried to report to him.
"The body of the lizardman guard at the entrance to the cave has been found."
Ji Xinghuo said to his teammates.
Most of the Stonelizardmen are asleep, and there are many cave entrances, and it is not often that Stonelizardmen enter and exit, and it takes a few hours to be discovered, which is already very slow.
That treacherous wizard killed people, and he was also forced to be helpless.
The entrance to the cave was too narrow, and the five of them walked together, and even if there was a hallucinator to cover it, they couldn't hide the stone lizardmen who were close at hand, so they could only kill people and break in.
At this moment, the Dagon walked out of the palace and stood at the door, his eyes scanning the surroundings, as if searching for an enemy who had infiltrated.
"Be careful."
Ji Xinghuo, who was originally watching from behind the crack in the stone, avoided his sight in time.
Ji Xinghuo didn't forget the team not far away.
Suddenly, the magnetic field sensed something unusual, and the illusionist's body broke away from a dim magnetic field, also in human form, and flew out of the shadows where they were hiding, extremely fast, silently through the rock nests, and actually flew towards his location.
"Illusion!"
Ji Xinghuo immediately reacted, this was an illusion created by the illusionist.
Originally, they had known that they had been followed, but now this illusion came to bring disaster to the east. Once the location is revealed, attracting the attack of the legendary Dagon, they can take the opportunity to break into the palace.
Both sides want to be yellow finch!
The illusion can pass through walls, and the speed is very fast, it only takes less than ten seconds to get here, and Ji Xinghuo does not have more time to think.
"Don't move!"
He didn't have time to explain, so he immediately entered a stealth state and ran out of the hidden stone lizardman's lair, turned over and climbed behind a rock next to him, using the rock to block his figure, the dragon falcon eagle bow had already towered a flame arrow, the right eye circle flashed, and the elevation angle was thrown out.
A blinding flash of fire streaked through the air, falling precisely into the shadows where the five men were hiding, and then bursting open.
Rumble!
The flames illuminated five figures, and their stunned faces.
